Actually the Aztrucks with the pointy nose are a fine looking aeroplane....but I'll stick to the Banana, just can't see double the FF and engine/prop costs for the same TAS/number of seats. At least not while I have no requirement for much in the way of serious IFR capability...which my mate Jamair does.
BTW in his email to me last week he mentioned it was a '72 model but I cannot recall whether he said E or F...I'll leave him to fill in the detail on what sounds to be a VERY nice machine purchased at a VERY reasonable price.
